Preparation & Planning: defeated by Routine and Habit

I'd known for days the remnants of tropical storm Fay were heading this way. And that the precipitation was forecast to be heavy.

So yesterday afternoon, knowing the storm was sure to hit sometime after midnight, I mindfully applied a fresh coating of 303 Fabric Guard to all the pesky places where Calypo's 24-year old canvas is bound to leak.

And then completely forgot to zip the top shut before doddering off to bed.
